The box 17 tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis, is an Asian pest whose rapid invasion in Europe cause considerable 18 economic and ecological impacts. Larvae enter a winter diapause induced by photoperiod in both 19 native and invaded ranges, but factors that trigger the return to an active phase are still unknown.
